Practicing Medicine in the Post-Pandemic World: Physicians Cite Work/Life Balance,Income and Improved Outcomes Among Myriad Benefits of Telehealth
The public health emergency forced many physicians into telemedicine despite resistance due to payment challenges. For now, however, Medicare and commercial payers are reimbursing telemedicine at the same rates as live visits. Physicians who have embraced telehealth are using this time when reimbursement isn’t an issue to spread the word about the benefits of telemedicine, not only in the financial sense but also when looking at efficiency and outcomes. Drs. Maria Johar and Khiet Trinh from Ensemble Health Partners and hospitalist Dr. Gaurang Mavani discuss the biggest opportunities in telemedicine today and into the future.
